With more than a year of experience in Mexican soccer as coach of the PumasMiguel González Míchel is already working on the assembly of the team towards Opening 2020. Complicated mission for the Spanish.
The coronavirus made a bad move on the European strategist. First, it ended with a tournament (Clausura 2020) that looked good for the feline institution; they were sixth when the pandemic struck. Second, it sank the university team deeper into the economic issue.
Now, the blue-blue future is uncertain from several edges. Míchel works with a team that could still suffer casualties, in order to give the club’s finances a break: Alan Mozo to Europe; Carlos González and Nicolás Freire with offers nationwide. In addition to the casualties of Víctor Malcorra and Pablo Barrera, men of experience in the Pumas’ squad. Jesús Ramírez, sports president, has already assured that he will seek to reach a midpoint with the players on the salary issue, a situation that could strike in the mood.
Renowned players will not be able to fill the gaps left by the best Pumas assistants in the last year (Malcorra and Barrera) and this is where it should be emphatic: in the production of youth. Since his arrival he has had seven debuts; However, only two have been in Liga MX (Marco García and Jesús Rivas) and the ‘Enano’ will be out six months (since March) due to a knee injury.
Special case that of the Paraguayan Juan Iturbe, who assures, wants to continue in the Pumas. However, his relationship with the Spanish helmsman is not the best, hence his departure to Pachuca, prior to Clausura 2020. His departure may occur due to his high salary.

The Spanish, who ends his contract in December, took advantage of the locality, gave back a slight hope to his fans, who in five days at Clausura 2020 improved the average attendance at the Olympic University, compared to the Apertura 2019, of 20 thousand 509 to 23 thousand 679, but the start of the Apertura 2020 will be behind closed doors and they will not have their fans for a while. One more test for the University Club.
